City donates Spark! photos to Caribou Historical Society; New clerk Haderlie sworn in

The Soda Springs City Council met for a regular meeting on Wednesday, April 3.

The new equipment, recently installed in the City Council Chambers, appeared to be up and running for the meeting, which allowed Council President Mitch Hart to attend remotely. Other than some audio issues, the meeting was able to be conducted with minimal technical issues. During the course of the meeting, the wall-mounted monitor and individual member tablets were used to good effect during the meeting to facilitate conversation on a number of topics. City Superintendent Alan Skinner found the display very useful in discussing current projects within the city, including construction related to the new Maverik location.

Mayor Austin opened the meeting with some reflective comments in tribute to City Attorney Gregg Haney, who unexpectedly passed away on March 17. The mayor paid respect to Haney’s contributions to the city, and honored his life as a man. He reminded those in the room that life is finite, and advised them not to take it for granted.

Newly appointed City Clerk Andrea Haderlie was then sworn in by Mayor Robinson, and officially took on the mantle of an often difficult job. Councilmembers expressed their appreciation for her well prepared minutes from the last meeting, at the end of which she was officially offered the position. Haderlie is a life-long resident of Soda Springs, and has worked in the city office for the last five plus years.

The photo displays created for the Spark! Innovation Smithsonian exhibit were officially donated by the city to the Caribou Historical Society, which, along with Chelsey Davids, Andrea Haderlie, Robin Thomas, and others, was involved in their creation and display. The Spark! exhibit, which was covered by the Caribou County Sun during its stay at Enders, was designed to highlight the often ingenious innovations created by small towns and cities in order to solve problems that are often spent out of existence by larger municipalities. Of particular interest to the CHS was the Last Chance Canal, a story of using a combination of craftiness and hard work to adhere to the letter of the law when the spirit alone wouldn’t suffice.

The photos were received by Bill Horsley and Jerry Stoor representing the CHS, and will be displayed at the Caribou Historical Museum in the future.

Debbie Dumont updated the Council on the progress of a draft docu-

ment for a public interest survey concerning Enders Hotel. The Council has been in discussions about the hotel in the majority of its meetings this calendar year (and before), and it was felt that additional input from the public on the subject would be a matter of due diligence. The issue has been discussed many times in open public meetings, but the planned survey would be distributed to as many residents of the city as possible directly. The wording of the questions on the survey, as well as the mechanism for delivering and collecting them, are issues yet to be resolved, and it is likely the process of finalizing the survey will be a slow one out of an abundance of caution and a desire to do it to everyone’s satisfaction as much as can be possible.

The upcoming Main Street project was discussed, and it was stated that a contractor should be in place by the end of April.

Councilmember Rod Worthington expressed gratitude to Mitch Hart, Alan Skinner, and Gregg Haney for their work on the donation of 608 acres of property from Nutrien. A motion to permit the mayor to sing the final agreement was passed.

Plans for the Spring Cleanup were discussed, including the scope and duration of the event, as well as potential restrictions on what types of material will be suitable for consignment to the landfill. When the details are completed, they will be made publicly available.

Developments in Gaza

Sunday marks

six months

since the October 7 Hamas attacks in Israel, which killed about 1,200 people. Since then, Israel’s campaign in Gaza has left more than 33,000 dead and triggered a humanitarian crisis. Israel says it has withdrawn its forces from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, but that a “significant” force remains elsewhere in the strip. Israel announced that it would attend negotiations on a ceasefire and hostage deal in Cairo. A Hamas delegation is also taking part.

Ahead of the talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there would be no truce without the release of hostages. In further developments, new details have emerged about Thursday’s phone call between US President Joe Biden and Netanyahu. A source told CNN that Biden demanded Netanyahu do more to allow in aid.

Body discovered at Willard Bay

The Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that the medical examiner has identified the human skeletal remains found in Willard Bay on March 30 as Elijah Peck, 42, of Garland, Utah. Deputies are investigating the death as suspicious, because the cause of death was not immediately clear. Chief Deputy Sheriff Cade Palmer said on Facebook that investigators believe Peck was last seen in May 2023 and was not reported as missing.

“However, as this is an ongoing investigation, these details are subject to change,” Palmer wrote. Peck’s remains were found in a remote wetland area within the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge on the northwest side of Willard Bay last Saturday. Anyone with any knowledge of the case that could help the investigation is asked to call 435-734-6530.

Absentee Ballots

Mailed out

Idaho county election offices are starting to mail absentee ballots ahead of the May 21 Idaho primary election. Voters who requested an absentee ballot should receive it in the mail within a week, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office announced in a Friday news release. The deadline to request an absentee ballot for the May primary is 5 p.m. May 10. Voters can request absentee ballots at VoteIdaho.gov, a website of the Idaho Secretary of State.

“Whether you plan to vote absentee, vote early, or vote on Election Day, have a plan to vote in the Idaho May primary,” Idaho Secretary of State

Phil McGrane said in the news release. “The Idaho primary includes races for Congress, state legislators, and local races that impact your community. Every vote counts, so ensure your voice is heard by participating in this important election.” All 105 Idaho legislative seats are up for election this year. More than 14,000 absentee ballots have been issued initially, according to an absentee ballot tracker on VoteIdaho.gov. More than 9,700 ballots were issued to Republicans, according to the tracker.

Jerry Stoor and Bill Horsley accept the donation of photos from the Spark exhibit, with City employee Chelsey Davids, who helped put the exhibit together.

Andrea Haderlie was sworn in as the new City Clerk by Mayor Austin Robinson.

Caribou Historical Society Museum plans for season; seeks members

The Caribou Historical Society (CHS) is planning to open its doors for the season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Right now, the plan is to open on Saturdays for visitors and to groups by appointment. As the season goes on, the Society is hoping to be able to expand the number of days it is available to the public. At present, the staff for the building is fairly limited. Bill Horsley, Galen Wilson, and Jerry Stoor are the core of the Society’s administrative team, and have been working for years at this point to improve and expand the offerings at the building, which is the old Stoor’s Grocery store on 100 E. Hooper Ave, across from the Hooper School.

The building is perfectly located just around the corner from historic Main Street in Soda Springs, though Bill Horsley is quick to explain that the CHS is a county-wide organization, with documents, artifacts, items, clothing, and an amazing collection of material from areas all throughout the county. Among the building’s many fascinating treasures are materials from Soda Springs itself, but also from the farthest reaches of the county and beyond—from Wayan to Thatcher, and Fish Creek to Freedom. If any part of the county is not yet represented, it undoubtedly will be before too long. Like any preservation group, the goal of the society is to collect, preserve, curate, and allow access to the physical things that help serve as touchstones to the history of the area and its people.

In fact, the site of the museum itself is a testament to the local history of several generations of residents—from shoppers of the original store, all the way to the relatively recent classes of school kids who made their way across the street at lunchtime. The building was purchased by John Stoor in the 1920s from Bill’s great great grandfather Herbert, who himself had clerked at the ZCMI on the location (built in 1882 to replace the original log building which burned down) until he purchased it in 1895. When the society was gifted the building by the Stoor family, it was in rough shape, having been used for many purposes in the intervening years after Vern and Jenny Stoor retired in the early 80s, including a dollar store, medical store, craft store, and public TV studio and computer store. It was not only a bit of a homecoming for Bill, but also for Jerry (who is the great grandson of John Stoor), and Galen (whose aunt lived in a small apartment at the back of the building at one time).

For all three men, it was a way to get in touch with their own past, as well as the history of the area. The building is a treasure trove of memories, a collection of contact points to the long and storied past. Over the course of an afternoon, Horsley described how many of the objects in the museum had been stored in attics, basements, barns, and other sometimes forgotten places until a move, or the passing of an owner, led the items to find their way to Horsley, Stoor, Wilson, and other volunteers, who are working on creating a place for everything that comes in.

The building is set up to evoke a sense of the original corner store, down to the penny candy at the front counter. “We raised the price a little,” Horsley says, pointing to the jars of candy below with $.02 labels across their fronts. The counter at the front of the store is designed to appear similar to the way it had in the past, and the store area is

filled with artifacts from across the last century and more, arranged as they come in into various themed displays.

A series of early photo portraits hang along the east wall of the main floor, featuring the images of many of the town founders, recovered from one of the previously mentioned attics. Just up a ramp toward the back section of the building is a set of display cabinets, formerly housed in the Caribou Memorial Hospital, of medical equipment from various periods of the last two centuries.

Another room houses a collection of military items donated by local servicemembers, relatives, and others. A worn but immaculate WWI uniform hangs across from a WWII machine gun, and within touching distance of a medals, documents, and physical indicia of service in the generations worth of wars and stateside waiting. One especially poignant relic is a board discovered during a remodeling project, which reads “Built by Old Kal Jenne/ Dec 22, 1941/ United States at war with Japan, Italy, and Germany/ Kal, Jr. is in Manila”. As the explanatory card above the item explains, young Kal died during the Bataan Death March, making it an irreplaceable and striking piece of lived history. The card further instructs visitors to find a happier note from Old Kal elsewhere in this museum, and there are plenty of happy sights to behold. In fact, Horsley works hard not to give up a secret that the museum plans to unveil as soon as it is ready. A sneak peak makes it clear that it should put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces.

The main ground floor space is used by local groups for various gatherings and classes, and can be arranged for with any of the members of the board, pending availability. The same is true of a fantastic solarium on the second floor, which is equipped with a functional kitchen and restroom. Of course, the facilities aren’t fully up to yearround use (the plumbing is shut off during the winter, for instance) because there are still a number of things that need to be readied first. The building needs a functional furnace (or two) to keep the pipes unfrozen in the winter. The current model, according to Bill is “a second-hand, undersized, noisy, troublesome trailer house furnace that was probably designed to heat about four or five hundred square feet.” There are places in the building where flooring needs to be replaced, and the electrical wiring needs to be upgraded. The garage and outdoor areas need work, and so on.

Like history itself, it’s an unfolding story. The Caribou Historical Society is funded in part by a small county budget, which allows them to “keep the lights on” as the expression goes. But the projects that need to be completed will need additional resources. The CHS is seeking annual members at a variety of contribution levels, from $25 and up to help achieve the goals they have in mind. It is typical for historical societies to be supported by a strong base of members through annual dues, which are in some ways more critical than volunteering. “Although we would love more volunteer participation,” Horsley suggests, “the extra funds would be huge.”

The CHS would also gratefully accept the help of anyone with grant writing experience, or a sincere interest in taking it up. There are many state, federal, and organizational grants that a

museum of the CHS’s type might qualify for, but looking for them and writing them can be very time consuming. “We would certainly welcome any help in that area,” Horsley says. “But we want everyone to be a part of this,” Horsley says. “Anything helps.” Member-

Construction on new Dodge Dealership underway

If you have driven through Soda Springs recently, you can’t possibly have missed the steel going up next to the Ford Dealership on the west side of town. Spokesperson Evan Wilson has certainly been asked about it more than once, and is happy to put the mystery to rest. The site to the east of the Ford dealership will be the location of a new Liberty Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram, which was purchased from its former owner Jensen-Wood in the spring of 2022. The dealership has been (and still is) operating in Montpelier, but it was decided to bring the inventory and service center to Soda Springs, where it will have more room to grow, and be able to serve the communities in Southeast Idaho and Western Wyoming more conveniently and centrally. The dealership will be operated completely separately from the adjacent Ford dealership, and will house a full service and sale facility with those vehicle lines.

The project is currently under construction by Headwaters Construction, and is expected to be open for business by the end of the year, according to Wilson. The store in Montpelier was relatively small, but the Liberty facility hopes to grow it considerably.

“Even in a small town like this, there were still a lot of people who didn’t know that we had purchased that store, and what was going on here,” Wilson said. “Curiosity has been peaked by that metal going up, and we thought it was time to make sure people knew what was going on.”

The Montpelier dealership will continue operating until it makes the move to its new location, which is conveniently the site of the old Ford dealership. As the Grand Opening of the new dealership nears, Wilson will keep the public up to speed on any developments.

Ready for Kindergarten Program

The North Gem School District held its first Ready! for Kindergarten workshops for parents of preschoolers on Feb. 27 at the school in Bancroft. Parents and their children enjoyed dinner before the workshop and child care was provided for 12 preschoolers in our kindergarten room. Sixteen parents, representing 12 families, enjoyed an evening of learning with North Gem teachers during two separate workshops. North Gem firstgrade teacher Mrs. Christensen gave a workshop for parents of 3 year olds. The workshop for parents of 4 year olds was presented by Mrs. Lloyd, our third-grade teacher. Ready! for Kindergarten workshops are a proven program designed to ensure young children have the right preparation for success in school. The program was developed by the Children’s Reading Foundation. Materials and curriculum are provided by the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children, and there was no cost to the district or to parents. Ready! workshops are offered at 128 schools and libraries throughout Idaho. Organizations like the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children are important because, surprisingly, it is unconstitutional in the state of Idaho to spend any state money on preschool activities.

Research shows that from birth to age 5, a child learns at a speed unmatched throughout the rest of their life. Parents and caregivers are a child’s first and most influential teachers. Every year, 40% of all children enter kindergarten and are one to three years behind in their skills. It is difficult for teachers to help students reach their greatest potential when

they start with such a deficit. Ready! for Kindergarten aims to close that gap. The program is a series of parent education workshops designed to teach parents how playing with their child is the best way to prepare them for kindergarten and builds skills as well as positive relationships.

Parents received a free tool kit full of high-quality educational materials that they practice with at the workshop and then take home. Parents are taught how to intentionally play with their child or “play with a purpose.” There are workshops for parents of children in other age groups which will be a part of the Ready! program in the next school year. Three 90-minute workshops are presented each year for each age group. Every workshop is unique and presents a logical progression of the 26 readiness skills most associated with academic success and social-emotional well-being in kindergarten. At the end of each workshop, parents not only leave with the knowledge and confidence to engage their children in “play with a purpose” but also with a free tool kit full of materials, including books, puzzles and games that directly support the targets covered in every workshop. The North Gem School District is pleased to offer this opportunity to our community. We have demonstrated a commitment to learning and have enjoyed high learning success rates for our students. The opportunity to engage in the Ready! for Kindergarten program is another effort to prepare our students for lifelong learning success and continue the tradition of educational excellence in our schools.

and dinner. There will be one more event on April 23rd before the summer break. New classes will begin next fall.

Soda Springs Welcomes New City Clerk

Andrea Haderlie was hired as City Clerk following the departure of Hannah Beer, who is now with the Caribou Medical Center. A number of changes in the city administration, including the unexpected and tragic passing of city attorney Gregg Haney, have meant that a certain amount of reshuffling and multitasking is in place while everything gets re-established. A bright spot in what otherwise might be a chaotic time is Haderlie’s familiarity with the city office and the employees there, many of whom are also moving into new positions. Haderlie has been involved with the city office since 2019, when she was first hired on. In the time since, she has dealt with the majority of the stakeholders in town government, including perhaps most importantly, the citizens of Soda Springs.

Andrea was born and raised in Soda Springs, and is of a generation of people who attended both Thirkill and the Hooper School. “I’ve grown up here my whole life, and never wanted to move away,” Haderlie said. She graduated from Soda Springs High School, and then worked in medical billing for the hospital for ten years, and at Mountain View Dental for a year after, before she was hired on to work the front desk at City Hall. “I know a lot of the people who’ve been in town for a long time, and I’m getting to know many of the people who have moved in with a recent influx of new faces,” Haderlie said.

Her background and familiarity with those in the community should serve her well in her new position, which involves maximizing the city’s financial assets, as well as being responsive to the needs and wishes of its residents.

Last year, Andrea was the lead on the city’s bringing the Spark Museum to town for the summer, which gave her a lot of hands-on experience with dealing with multiple entities, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Idaho Humanities Council, and others. The project was a large success, exceeding even what she imagined would be possible on a grant of $1,500. As a result of stipulations for being a host site for the traveling exhibit, the city was obligated to hold a number of community events, which turned out to be very well-at-

tended. A downtown street festival event, which capped off the exhibit’s residency in town, is a good illustration of the kind of experience Haderlie envisions for the city. It was well-attended, had something to offer people of all interests and ages, supported local business, and highlighted the city’s historic as well as modern resources.

None of which is to say that there is nothing complicated or even polarizing on the horizon. The upcoming Main Street project is likely to bring with it a certain number of headaches, as traffic issues and the effects on businesses are likely to be significant. The task of tracking and juggling the various grants and allocated funds from other sources, as well as dealing with the possible wrinkles in the construction and accounting processes will be things she will be a large part of. Issues with the city’s ownership of Enders Hotel, the establishment and management of 608 acres south of town recently donated to the city by Nutrien, various proposed construction projects and development code entanglements, digitizing the City’s archives, and countless other topics will undoubtedly counterbalance the more fun parts of the job.

Still, Haderlie is well situated to deal with the variety of interested parties that make up a city, and she looks forward to “providing great customer service to our residents, and helping the citizens get what they need from the City.” As the year rolls on, Haderlie looks forward to it with a positive attitude. “Every day is a surprise!”

Veterans Chili Cookoff

Over the weekend, members of the Soda Springs American Legion Post 62 and the VFW welcomed the community to join them at the Caribou County Veterans Memorial Building for a chili cookoff and gathering. Saturday, as has been the case for many months now, was cold and on the verge of snow—weather that is perfect for a gathering dedicated to friends and gathering around food.

On hand for the afternoon were VFW Quartermaster Jacob Hirsbrunner, his brother Trevor Hirsbrunner, American Legion Commander Jennifer Lacy, Legion Adjutant Fred Peck, and VFW member Jim Sippolo, and friends and family, among others.

The Legion hosts a number of events throughout the year for the community. Members are involved with the local schools and many other groups around town. They will be holding a Memorial Day ceremony at

the cemetery, where they will lower the flag in memory of those fallen in service from 10 a.m. to noon.

American Legion Post 62 is also sponsoring a raffle for a Henry Golden Boy Military Service Tribute 22 Long rifle, which will be held on Independence Day. Tickets are $5 or $20, and the winner will be drawn before the fireworks show on the 4th of July. Winners need to be able to legally receive a firearm from a licensed firearms dealer.

The American Legion Post 62 meets every third Tuesday at the Memorial Hall next to the City Park at 6:00 p.m. The VFW meets the same day at 7:00 p.m.

For information about Legion events, call Fred Peck at 208-2217049. For information about the VFW, contact Jacob Hirsbrunner at 214-650-8892.

Earth Day Every Day

This April, the world celebrates Earth Day. There are many ways to join the celebration and make small changes to your daily routine. Here are just a few ideas to help support the world we share.

Compost the Most:

Make the most out of your waste organic materials by starting your own compost system. You can easily turn yard trimmings, fruit, veggie and coffee ground waste, and even paper towels and cardboard into ‘black gold.’ In addition to keeping organic waste out of landfills and dumps, the resulting soil is nutrient rich and will make your garden bloom!

BYOBags:

It’s estimated Americans use over 100 billion plastic grocery bags a year. Bringing your own reusable bags when you go grocery shopping is an easy way to cut down on plastic waste.

Water Wisely:

It’s easy to help conserve water by making simple changes to how you use it in your garden and on your lawn. soaker hoses close to the ground to minimize evaporation and ensure your plants get the water they need.

Cornhole for Collins

More than one current student, former student, and possible future student stopped to say “hello” or hug Jennifer Collins in the hallway during a Cornhole tournament on March 30, which was held to help raise funds to help defray the costs of medical bills incurred as a result of her parents’ recent passings. The tournament was organized by Izzy Shelton, who approached the Student Council about doing something to help the universally beloved teacher and her brother Alex Koziah.

In February of this year, Collins’ dad passed away. About three days later, her mother required hospitalization and ultimately also passed away a little over a week after Collins’ father. Her mother did not have medical insurance, and the bill for her hospital stay was quite substantial.

“This is helping us cover not even medical expenses, just expenses that have happened with the passing of my parents,” Collins said.

As she explained the nature of some of those expenses, former student Allissa Mitchell stopped by to exchange a warm hello with Collins on her way to buy raffle tickets, which was a common experience. “This has been really touching to see,” Collins said. “It means a lot.”

Collins is currently at Tigert Middle School, where she teaches seventh grade geography, but she has been a highlight of many students’ days in other capacities, such as supervising online course work at the high school, and teaching economics and government as a high school and a dual-enrollment early college instructor for CWI as well.

The Soda Springs High School gym was abuzz on the snowy Saturday afternoon during Easter week -

end, as teams faced off against one another in a double elimination tournament. Medals were given to the top three teams, and raffle items were donated by a large number of local supporters.

The winners of the tournament, as well as the results of the fundraising and information about where people who missed the tournament can donate will be coming soon.

Action was constant throughout the afternoon in the gym.

Jennifer Lacy, Trevor Hirsbrunner, Fred Peck, Jim Sippolo, and Jacob Hirsbrunner.

This Henry Golden Boy 22LR will be auctioned off during the 4th of July events.

Many students stated during the afternoon that Collins was their favorite teacher ever.

McKaylie Petterborg and Izzy Shelton helped set up and organize the tournament to help Collins.

Remember to sign up for PTR (Circuit Breaker)

The Caribou County Assessor’s office reminds taxpayers to sign up for their Property Tax Reduction and/or Homeowner’s Exemption.

The deadline for both of these programs is April 15th.

#1 PTR

The Property Tax Relief (Circuit Breaker) is a state funded program that helps pay property taxes on primary homes for qualified individuals. This program is for those who are 65 years old or older or widowed or disabled. This program needs to be applied for yearly. The amount that you qualify for depends on the income from the previous year (2024). The maximum benefit for this program is $1500.

#2 Disabled Veterans

This program is for disabled veterans of our armed services. This program requires that the applicant is deemed 60% service-connected disability or higher and is paid out at 100%. This program will pay $1500 towards the applicant’s primary home and up to 1 acre. There is no income requirement for this program. Individuals that qualified for this program should not have to reapply.

If you have any questions about either of these programs, you can contact the Assessor’s office at 208-547-4749

Preliminary Draft of Caribou County's Natural Resource Plan

Caribou County is proposing the adoption of their inaugural Natural Resource Plan, signifying a significant commitment to environmental stewardship. This comprehensive plan not only safeguards the ecological integrity of the natural resources within Caribou County, it also aims to protect the cultural and historical significance of access points, recognizing their importance to local livelihoods and recreational activities. Additionally, Caribou County is dedicated to collaborating with State and Federal Agencies to effectively manage the natural resources within the county. By adopting this plan, Caribou County demonstrates its commitment to sustainable resource management and the preservation of both environmental and cultural heritage for future generations.

The consideration of this plan has come after months of collaboration and input from various stakeholders, including county officials, environmental experts, and community members. Their valuable insights have shaped the plan into a robust framework that addresses the unique needs and challenges of our region.

As Caribou County moves forward, Caribou encourage all residents to engage with the preliminary draft of the Natural Resource Plan, which is now available for review on the county's official website. Public input is essential in ensuring that the final version of the plan accurately reflects the aspirations and priorities of our community.

To access the preliminary draft of the Natural Resource Plan and submit feedback, please visit https://www.cariboucounty.us/. To submit comments, please email them to naskew@co.caribou.id. All comments must be submitted by 5 pm on April 26th, 2024, to be considered.

Together, let's continue to work towards a more sustainable and resilient future for Caribou County.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

As we make our way into our third month, we have some progress to report on our office space and contact information, as well as an invitation to those in the community who have news they’d like to share.

To the first point—we have established a small office in the Enders Hotel for meeting with people and maintaining a presence in the county. However, for the moment our hours in that office are still irregular, though generally should be from 1:00-4:00 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, events permitting. A more reliable way to contact us is at our newly established P.O. Box in Soda Springs, which we will be checking regularly. All communication for subscriptions and other inquiries should be sent to P.O. Box 331, Soda Springs, Idaho, 83276.

At present, phone calls will reach us best at our 208-766-4773 number, which is an anchored landline that isn’t going anywhere. If you have an urgent issue for me personally, Sherrie can give you my cell number if you’re one of the four people who don’t have my card yet.

By that token, as a very small staff of myself, Sports Reporter Jody Reeves, and a few local contributors, we have very little chance of covering everything in the county at all times. There are a number of things that happen to happen at the same times, for instance, and others that we simply weren’t aware of. While I can’t guarantee we can make it to an event you inform us about, I can guarantee that we will try. And if we can’t do it, we will make sure we can make space for you to report on it. While some events will fall into the advertising side of the equation, many of them are things we would love to cover in one way or another, so please reach out. I can be reached at brandon.h@ idahoenterprise.com and will get back to you as soon as I can.

Finally, (for now), I will continue to apologize for errors in names, spelling, and other details we get wrong, as happens in the normal course of things. Practice makes somewhat better, as they say.

LOOKING BACK AT PAGES FROM THE PAST

5 Years ago, 2019

Salt Lake City police apprehended Kevin M. Martinez, 37, on a warrant issues through the Soda Springs Police Department on the charge of robbery. Soda Springs Chief of Police Scott Shaw announced the arrest, several weeks after the robbery of the Ireland Bank in Soda Springs which had occurred on March 25. Martinez was scheduled to be extradited to Caribou County for court proceedings related to the robbery.

A series of small earthquakes were reported by the USGS in the Soda Springs area during the week, though the majority of them were too small to be felt. A 3.3 magnitude earthquake was reported to have occurred six miles east of Soda Springs on April 4 at 3:45 a.m., and thirteen total quakes from 1.8 to 2.3 in magnitude over the next week.

The Soda Springs Family History Center held an open house, with a number of classes on genealogical research and family history searches. Antiques were displayed, and refreshments were served.

Although March had turned out to be a drier than average month, February’s precipitation had allowed the Natural Resources Conservation Service to give Idaho a positive forecast for the 2019 water year. The Bear River Basin was noted to be at 105 percent of average, with Bear Lake itself at 140 percent.

What was initially described on the agenda as an “adult toy simulator” to reported snickering at the Soda Springs City Council meeting turned out to be a NASCAR simulator car which would coming to town for the 4th of July weekend as part of a contest for which the winners would receive tickets to a NASCAR event in Las Vegas. It was also reported that a literal circus would be coming to town as another event for the 4th of July celebration.

Keller and Associates spoke to the Grace City Council about the next streps for the city with regard to the potential sewer upgrade. Phase I will involve testing various locations around the city to determine whether it would be possible to do rapid infiltration at theose sites. It was hoped that a DEQ grant would pay for the testing.

The Tigert Middle School track team fared extremely well in its first competition of the year, against Malad and West Side. The TMS Cardinals took the top spots in the majority of running and field events, breaking six new school records. Izzy Shelton set a new TMS record of 81’9” in discus. Macie Clegg and Dawson Martinsen took top spots in the triple jump. Colton Kern (5’8”) and Tayah Gaines (4’10”) set new TMS 8th grade records. In the 400m, Macee Simmons set a new TMS 7th grade school record with a time of 1:06. Caleb Thompson and Macee Simmons took first in the 800m, as well as setting TMS records.

The Grace High School golf teams played at Blackfoot last week, and both teams placed first. The boys shot a 330, led by Jacob Smith, Jordan Mansfield, Stockton Lloyd, Makay Taggart, and Ryan McCurdy. The girls scored 185 on nine holes, led by Lindsey Lloyd, Zoeigh Walker, Amber Mansfield, Katelyn Andersen, and Britton Lloyd.

10 Years ago, 2014

A special encore performance by Ryan Pelton as an Elvis impersonator on the Grace stage was announced. Pelton had announced his retirement as an Elvis impersonator in 2011, when he last took the stage in Grace, in order to pursue an acting career. A film in which he starred, “The Identical,” had been delayed, so Pelton was once again performing as the King. Chicago singer D’arcy Park was scheduled to perform in the show as Ann-Margret. The event was conceived as a benefit to raise funds for the past and upcoming concert series presented by the Gem Valley Performing Arts Committee.

The annual Pinewood Derby was held at Bancroft LDS Church. It was under the direction of Cub Master Traci Thompson, Assistant Cub Master and Advancement Chair Cathryn Jenkins, Wolf Leader Jamie Hill, Bear Leader Cami Johnson, and Webelo Leaders Marianne Josephson,

and Dorothy Ackerman. The winners from the Wolf pack were Wylie Johnson, Jaden Thompson, and Mayson Jenkins.

Under the direction of Eli Hubbard, Grace High School Drama students were busy rehearsing for the upcoming production of “Way out West in a Dress,” in the humorous play about life in the old west. The show was reported to feature show girls, gunslingers, and out of work actors.

25 donors gave over 1,000 inches of hair to the Locks of Love program as a result of Dakota Siepert’s senior project. Some of those involved in the project were Sadie Worthington, Hailey Call, Sydnie Call, Anndee Neuman, Lauren Worthington, and Madilyn Lowry.

Idaho Senator Mike Crapo expressed concerns about the Environmental Protection Agency’s fiscal budget for 2015. Crapo’s primary concern was related to an expanded definition of waters regulated under the Clean Water Act, that Crapo felt would further “restrict the private property rights of Americans.” In Crapo’s opinion, the proposed EPA rules would “create more harm than good.”

20 Years ago, 2004

Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Job’s Daughters created around 200 new bird houses for local bluebirds, under the direction of Charlie Ross. Ross assembled the boxes, and the various youth service groups have been painting them for use around the area. Houses have been placed at Eight Mile Road, Bailey Creek, Tin Cup, and the highway to Montpelier. During the spring, Ross opens the boxes and removes the old nesting to prepare for the new season. The homes are also used by swallows. Ross noted that more houses were needed, and that their construction was relatively simple, and would be a good Eagle Scout project. The mountain bluebird is Idaho’s state bird, of course.

Heidi Kelley, co-chair of the Junior Miss Scholarship Program expressed her gratitude to all the people who had helped with the successful event. The event was supported by the Lions Club, local merchants, and many volunteers. Billikaye Sims was the other co-chair for the year. Christine Smith, Jenny Gibbs, Linda Hubbard and Tiffany Unsworth were singled out for the help with the preparations. Rod Worthington and Eve Gentry were responsible for the lights and sound.

Amada Martinsen and Lyndsi Godfrey took the “Be Your Best Self” program to the elementary schools. Kevin Keller emceed the program.

A number of citizens expressed their opposition to the potential building of a jail in the town of Soda Springs. The letters noted that a jail would be in opposition to the attempts to beautify the city, and that the money would be better spent on programs to help the youth, rather than a facility to imprison adults.

Alan Radford, postmaster at Grace, was honored last Thursday on his retirement by fellow postmasters and employees. He started as the postmaster in Grace in 1998. Radford was born and raised in Idaho Falls, served in the Air Force, and was hired on at the Idaho Falls Post Office in 1969. He moved to Grace with his wife Carol in 1998, where he ultimately retired. He looked forward to spending time with his grandchildren during his retirement.

The BLM and Caribou-Targhee National Forest hosted a Firewise Landscape Workshop for all nurseries, greenhouses, landscape contractors, homeowners associations, local homeowners, city officials, and fire departments in the region to learn about the problem of wildfires as a threat to liminal zones which include both urban and wildland landscapes.

A series of public meetings were planned by the Forest Service to discuss their proposed revisions to the Caribou Travel Plan. The proposal shows designated motorized routes, season and type of use for roads and trails, and designated routes for snowmachines through big game winter range areas. One of the proposed changes calls for a motorized road that loops from the Wenchell Dugway to Caribou City. That old historic wagon

road has not been used for motorized travel in recent times and has been listed as a nonmotorized route. Terrace Canyon and Coyote Creek Trails will also be closed due to safety concerns.

30 Years ago, 1994

Rachel Hogan of Soda Springs earned an award for logging 500 hours in the American Quarter Horse Association Horseback Riding Program, sponsored by Drysdlaes Western Store of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The program recognizes AQHA members for their training with a series of patches, belt buckles, and gift certificates to commemorate various milestones.

The National Guard will display historical U.S. flags from the 1776-1814 era at the three high schools in Soda Springs, Grace, and Bancroft. Ten different flags make up the display, which is accompanied by a video. It was noted that this would be a great opportunity for local scouts to earn their patriotism badges.

A spring hail storm hit the county over the weekend, covering the ground, roofs, cars, and unlucky people with hail from three-quarters to and inch in diameter. No major damage was reported, though a number of people reported some unpleasant scrambles indoors to get out of the line of fire.

Senator Larry Craig planned to visit Southeast Idaho to meet with senior citizens and representative groups to discuss issues relevant to seniors. Craig planned to cut a wide path across the region, from Lava Hot Springs, to Montpelier, to Preston, to Malad.

Hollie Jo Humble put up 14 out of 25 shots to win $5 from the Soda Shoppe in the 5th and 6th grade annual Soda Shoppe Hoop Shoot in connection with the Girls’ Little League Basketball Tournament. Amanda Lopez placed second with 12 out of 25 shots. Lesly Godfrey came in 3rd with 9 out of 25.

River Basin will ensure proper delivery of water in times of shortage and ensure certainty of water right ownership to property owners. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the commencement of the Bear River Basin Adjudication and your legal responsibilities at this stage of the adjudication. You are receiving this notice because you may be the owner of property located within the boundaries of the Bear River Basin Adjudication.

I. YOU ARE HEREBY

NOTIFIED THAT

On June 15, 2021, the Fifth Judicial District Court in and for the County of Twin Falls issued an order commencing a general adjudication of water rights within the Bear River Basin water system in Idaho. A general adjudication is a court case which will result in a decree determining all water rights within a water system. The purpose of the adjudication is to determine the elements and necessary provisions for the administration of water rights and to compile an inventory of all the water rights in the Bear River Basin water system.

II. GENERAL REQUIREMENT TO FILE A NOTICE OF CLAIM

Idaho Code § 42-1409 requires that a Notice of Claim be filed for all water rights within the boundaries of the Bear River Basin water system in the State of Idaho, except for certain water rights specifically excluded by law. “All water rights within the boundaries of the Bear River Basin water system in Idaho” includes rights to the use of water from any water source including streams, springs, lakes, ground water, developed water, waste water, or any other source. A map showing the boundaries of the water system is included at the end of this notice. The

right holders who elect to defer filing at this time may be required to file, at a later date, a motion with the Court to have the water right adjudicated. These water rights holders may also be required to pay their own costs of serving notice of the motion, advertising, and all costs incurred for investigation and preparation of a report to be filed with the Court. In short, waiting will result in significantly more work and more expense for the water right holder. A water right holder should be certain their water use qualifies for the deferral procedure for D&S rights before deciding not to file a Notice of Claim at this time. A D&S right holder will be bound by the terms of any decrees entered in this adjudication (including the limitation on D&S water rights that may be adjudicated at a later date) regardless of whether or not the water right holder files a notice of claim for the D&S right at this time. For more information, please consult Idaho Code §§ 42-111 and 42-1401A.

B. OTHER EXCEPTIONS

A Notice of Claim is not required to be filed for water right permits for which proof of beneficial use was filed after June 15, 2021. However, the Director of the Idaho Department of Water Resources may, at a later date, require holders of such permits to file a Notice of Claim. If the Director does issue such an order, the permit holder will be notified by mail. A Notice of Claim is not required for an application for permit that has been filed with IDWR but has not yet been approved. Additionally, a water user need not file a Notice of Claim where the water user is not the

4-H Update

By Lisa Barfuss, 4-H Coordinator Caribou County

It is time to think about 4-H Camp 2022 in Alpine, Wyoming! Campers from Caribou, Bear Lake, Franklin, Oneida, and Power counties will be attending camp. Space is limited. Be sure to get your registration/enrollment form turned in early. We will leave for Camp Monday morning, June 10th, and will return Wednesday early afternoon, June 12th. Youth ages 9-12 are eligible and encouraged to attend this camp. This includes 8-year-olds who will turn 9 this year. 4-H leaders and parents are welcome to attend and assist with 4-H Camp at a reduced fee. (If you are interested in attending as a leader, contact the Extension Office as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, May 31st. We always need adult help and appreciate your assistance. All volunteers must meet screening requirements set forth by 4-H program.

Nutrien has offered a grant to the Caribou County Extension Office this year that has given us the opportunity to reduce the price of camp. A huge thank you to Nutrien!! This year the camp fee is $30.00 per camper, which includes meals, lodging, transportation, insurance, activity materials, camp supplies and a T-shirt. (This fee does not include the 4-H enrollment fee of $20.00 and must be paid before attending camp.) Adults may attend at a reduced rate of $30.00 and teen leaders will be able to attend for free. Members planning on attending camp must be enrolled in Zsuite including all adults. The site to do that is 4h.zsuite.org. If you would like to pay online, please let us know and we can send you an invoice or we have Venmo, the address for that is @CaribouCounty-Extension.

We have an entertaining and educational camp planned this year. The theme is “Slimy, Gooey, Gross.” All activities are supervised by adult volunteers, teen camp counselors, Extension 4-H program coordinators, assistants, and Extension educators.

Camp forms can be obtained at the Caribou County Extension Office, 53 East, 1st South Soda Springs. Forms and registration/enrollment fees must be returned no later than Friday, May 31st, by 4:45 p.m. Late camp forms WILL NOT be accepted due to limited space, meal planning, transportation issues and time to obtain supplies.

To potential volunteers:

We are looking for some fun, outgoing and responsible youth that want to mentor our young campers. Could it be you??

4-H knows that youth are an important resource in our communities. 4-H doesn’t teach you to be leaders someday in the future; it places you in meaningful leadership roles today and surrounds you with caring, supportive adults.

At 4-H camp, teen leaders will be able to participate in camp planning, organizing, teaching and mentoring. As a teen leader, you may also enjoy campfires, archery, shooting, games, classes, hiking, getting to know teens from other counties, and making new friends.

4-H Alpine Camp will be held Monday, June 10th to Wednesday, June 12th this summer. Applications for teen counselors are now being accepted until April 30th.

Teen leaders should be in 8th grade and will be required to attend the training that will be held May 31st at Downata Hot Springs at 9:00 AM. We will meet at the Extension Office and drive up together at 8:00 A.M.

Nutrien has offered us a scholarship this year to help with the cost of camp. If you go as a counselor your cost will be covered by the scholarship.

Please call our office at (208) 547-3205 if you have any questions or stop by the Extension Office at 53 E 1st S to pick up your application.

THE ISSUE: Quackgrass

Quackgrass (Elytrigia repens) is a rhizomatous perennial that spreads by seeds and rhizomes. Quackgrass is a highly competitive agricultural weed which can significantly reduce crop yields and reduce the value of seed grain crops through contamination. In addition, quackgrass can infest lawns, gardens, roadsides, ditches, and any disturbed moist areas. It is a rapid invader that can stabilize eroding soils but will take over good areas for other plants. Quackgrass is known to release allelopathic toxins into the soil inhibiting the growth of other plants.

Quackgrass grows 1 to 3 feet tall, its stems are thin with swollen nodes. The ½ inch wide leaves are rolled, blue green in color, and clasping around the stem, have a hairy upper surface and a waxy lower surface, and near the tip, have a band-like constriction. They have a dense fibrous root system with large rhizomes that allow for rapid spread. The seedhead is composed of flattened seeds arranged alternately up the spike inflorescence. Usually awnless, they may

have very short lawns.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Options:

Prevention – A healthy lawn will outcompete quackgrass and reduce the likelihood of its establishment. Increased nitrogen fertilizer and mowing can help establish a healthy lawn. Applying a mulch layer 3 inches deep on planting beds will help reduce seed germination.

Mechanical – Effective control must target both above ground and below ground plant structures. Cultivation or tillage is not a good option since cut rhizomes will continue to grow. Hand pulling plants prior to seed maturity can reduce plant populations.

There are several chemical control options available for use, for more information visit https://pnwhandbooks.org/ then search “Quackgrass” in the weed section. Select the appropriate option. Always read and follow herbicide label directions!

The Senate passed the last bill on our calendar late Wednesday night and adjourned for five days to give the Governor the required time to sign or veto bills. Bottom line is the Second Regular Session of the 67th Idaho Legislature has come to an end. It has been a very interesting Session and a lot of good bills have been passed and a lot of good bills have been held. This Session saw nearly 700 pieces of legislation introduced, with many making it through the process and sent on to the Governor’s desk.

One significant piece of legislation that we saw this week was the passage of Senate Bill 1435 (S1435). This bill is an appropriations bill for the Idaho State Police (ISP) that will allow them to continue to do the important job they do for the citizens of Idaho. Recently, the Governor assigned two teams of ISP troopers to go to Texas to help with the recent rash of illegal border crossings. ISP also coordinated efforts with local law enforcement to peacefully end a 36-hour manhunt that occurred across our State. ISP has also been on the front lines against the fentanyl problem and continues to lead the fight against all illicit drugs. S1435 is a good bill and shows that the Legislature and the Governor are committed to public safety. It also makes a statement that we back our law enforcement personnel and efforts in Idaho.

Another piece of legislation we saw this week was House Bill 766 (H766). This bill is the product of several variations and efforts to solve the 5-day school week issue that presented itself in House Bill 521 (H521). H521 passed both the Senate and the House and was signed by the Governor. However, it created some angst and confusion regarding a requirement that school districts be on a 5-day school week to qualify for facilities funds from the State. Several Senators, including me, were concerned about this provision in the bill, and we received many calls and emails from constituents sharing the same concerns, including calls

from parents, teachers, and school administrators. After several attempts by the Senate to get a trailer bill addressing the 5-day issue to be heard by the House leadership, we finally came to an agreement in H766. This bill adjusts the minimum days requirement for schools by eliminating the contract-day requirement. The bill also ensures legislative oversight of decisions made by the Idaho State Board of Education and provides that the State Board has the flexibility it needs to phase in hour or day requirements over a multi-year period. The required hours would stay set in State Statute which, of course, is set by the Legislature. This provides a level of comfort as the rules governing this issue will also be set by the Legislature, which will be closely watched. There is a lot of Senate support for our rural school districts, especially where the data shows that many of the top-performing schools in the State are on a 4-day school week.

I thank you for your emails and calls during this Legislative Session. I like to hear your opinion of the issues and our efforts to serve your needs. Please feel free to continue to contact me at: mharris@senate.idaho.gov. I look forward to serving you again next Legislative Session!

The session wound down this week with a few long days. We came on and off the House floor multiple times on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The few final budgets remaining were debated and passed during that time. We’ve motioned on the 87th legislative day to recess without pay until April 10th. That will give the Governor his required time to sign or veto the bills that have made the way to his desk.

This has been another year for me to learn much, continue to build relationships with so many fine legislators, and see some encouraging legislation passed. House Bill 542, International Physicians bill, is one I am particularly proud to have seen signed into law last month. It is a creative solution to attract more well-trained physicians to our fine state and improve overall healthcare access. I appreciated hearing many stories of internationally trained physicians who could potentially fill holes in our current physician workforce, with the passage of this bill.

While I never got to debate or vote on the bill myself, it was still disappointing to see S1245 regarding pesticide labeling, fail to pass. Our Idaho-based ag and manufacturing industry needs this legislation to help Southeast Idaho families involved in the mining and processing of elemental phosphorus. In addition, so many of our Idaho ag families help feed our nation. Without the passage of this bill, it will become much more likely that our ag producers are forced to buy all their pesticide product from China. That will place our food security and national security at risk. I was disappointed that so many legislators were won over by arguments from radical environmentalists that prefer to shut down domestic production of our entire agricultural system, where currently one American farmer feeds over 160 U.S. citizens My heart was full this Wednesday as I glanced into the gallery during the pledge of allegiance to see one of our Idaho State Police saluting the flag, as we recited the pledge together. It has been one of the great honors of my life to represent

the fine people of southeast Idaho. I am running for reelection, as I believe there is more work we can do to keep Idaho thriving.

In the interim, I am working on legislation that would modernize the prior authorization system and reduce regulatory burden on our local physicians and healthcare workforce. I will continue to work on policy that incentivizes more physician workforce to train or relocate in Idaho.

I have an idea for a bill that will improve citizen access to multiple classes of pharmaceuticals.

In addition, I will work on legislation that moves our public schooling toward an outcome-based funding model. I will also continue looking for ways that our high school students can find and participate in apprenticeships that move them to rewarding and in-demand careers. And I would dearly like to reduce instances of youth vaping.

Thank you, again, for all of you back home who reached out during the session with ideas, concerns, and real-life instances of legislation affecting you and your families. I am deeply grateful to live in this incredible state, in our divinely appointed nation, doing my small part to serve Idaho families.

Cowboys Make Improvements In Field Events

Jody Reeves

On Wednesday the 3rd the North Gem track and field team made the journey to Murtagh to take part in the Jennifer Crystal Invitational. There they competed against twelve other 1A schools. The majority of them were from the fourth district, giving the Cowboys an idea of what the competition is like outside of their own district. The North Gem boys saw a mixed bag as many of their sprinters failed to PR or place in the top of the field. However, they saw season-best times in three relays as well as in the throwing events. Sophomore Haydn Frandson grabbed one of the highest finishes for the Cowboys when he placed fourth in the 800 meter race. Evan O’Brien and Rusten Hatch were separated by just four inches in the shot put as they both

On Saturday, Enders Hotel hosted a Spring Craft Fair, which allowed visitors to take a look at some of the offerings of around two dozen local and regional vendors.

The ground floor of the hotel was filled wall-to-wall with jewelry, craft items, handcrafted food, soaps, clothes, books, and surprises.

Ranch Queen Loaded Fries was stationed outside to feed the crowd, which stayed steady throughout the morning and afternoon.

For the North Gem girls there were several athletes who earn PR’s as the young group of girls continue to improve each week of the season. Shalyn Thompson helped both the relays the Cowboys ran to season best times as well and shaved twenty-seven seconds off her 1600 meter time, earning a PR. Indyana Hatch was also on the relay teams and PRed in both the 100 meters and the long jump. Kymberli Jensen was a member of one of the relay teams and PR in the shot put and long jump. Mariah O’Brien also earned PR’s in both the 200 meters and the long jump. The Cowboys will next be in action on Wednesday April 10th when they will travel once again to Malad.

A Look At The Links

With Grace on spring break, Soda Springs was the only local golf team in action last week. The Cardinal varsity boys and girls teams made the trek over Fish Creek to the prestigious Juniper Hills Country Club. With several district foes competing at the same tournament, the Cardinals did not end up having a good showing. The Cardinal men placed out of the top three teams, but got some valuable time on the course which has been hard to come by so far this spring. Ryker Tingey led the scoring for the boys, shooting a 93 on the day. The Lady Cardinals, on the other hand, once again impressed as they took the top spot as a team with a combined score of 424. The girls were led by Oakley Peck, who shot a 98. The Cardinals will travel to Preston on Wednesday the 10th and get a look at the district championship course for the first time this season.

Cardinals Put In Extra Work In District Matchup

On Thursday April 4th the Cardinals traveled to West Side to compete in a Varsity/JV mixed meet. Fifth district foes Malad and West Side along with Marsh Valley and Preston competed in the meet. With some of their varsity runners missing, the Cardinal boys placed fourth as a team but still had several great individual performances as well as the chance to give some of the younger athletes some

much needed extra time on the track. The Soda girls did very well claiming the top spot in team scoring. They had a number of top performances in individual events as well. The Lady Cardinals benefited from being the only relay team in two of the races as well as having some of their top field athletes competing. Many of these athletes will get another opportunity to compete in a JV meet this Wednesday in Preston.

Cardinals Baseball Sets

Last Thursday, the Soda Springs Cardinals traveled to American Falls to take on the Beavers. In an earlier match up between these two teams the Cardinals had scored early and often, scoring eighteen of the total nineteen runs in the first three innings. In that contest, the Cardinals ran away with the victory winning 19-6.

Thursday’s match up, however, was a different story. Early on it looked as though the Cardinals would once again grab an early lead as they scored two runs in the top of the first inning. The Beavers didn’t lay down this time as they answered back, knotting things up at two heading into the second inning.

The Cardinals were able to tally one more run in the second, but from there things didn’t go their way. Soda surrendered three runs to the Beavers in the bottom of the second, leaving them trailing 5-3.

The third inning breezed by as the Cardinals failed to get anyone on base. American Falls placed a couple of runners on base, but the Cardinal defense held them scoreless.

In the top of the fourth, despite earning two walks and having a runner in scoring position, the Cardinals would once again fail to score. On the flip side, the Beavers added four runs to

For the second week in a row the Soda Springs Cardinals and the Grace Grizzlies competed against each other in track and field. There was a mix of both large and small schools in attendance. Both Grace and Soda Springs had a limited number of athletes competing, but they represented well. As a team, Soda Springs placed sixth on the boys side but was the second highest scoring small school. The Lady Cardinals did even better, placing second overall and placing as the highest scoring small school. The Grizzlies finished last on the team scoreboard in both the boys and girls, however their five total athletes made good strides individually. Each team had some familiar names for local track and field fans.

For the Soda boys team, Caleb Thompson, Degan Stoor, and Cole Garbett all placed very well in each of their individual areas of expertise. In addition, Cooper Thompson represented in the high jump and a relay, while Landon Moldenhauer earned a PR in the 3200 meter race. The Soda girls

their total, putting the Cardinals in a hole of 9-3.

Two early errors by the Beavers to open up the fifth inning helped put runners on the corners for the Cardinals. Soda took advantage of the scoring position and finally earned another run, but it would be their last one. American Falls doubled that one run score with two of their own in the bottom of the fifth.

The sixth inning saw both teams putting up two runs a piece, bringing the scoring total to 13-6. That put the Cardinals in a large deficit entering the final inning. With the Beavers having last at bat, Soda needed to score a bunch to keep the game going. Unfortunately, the Cardinals failed to even get on base, leaving them on the wrong side of the win-loss column. The Cardinals started and ended the game fairly well, but getting outscored in the middle 9-2 was their downfall in this one. The Cardinals will look to rebound this week as they travel to the Glenns Ferry tournament where they will face Gooding, Grangeville, Wilder, and the host school Glenns Ferry. Three of those four teams have winning records, with Grangeville being currently undefeated. Wilder is the lone team that has yet to tally a win. The Cardinals will have their hands full, but you can bet they are up to the challenge.

had several girls do well across the board. Some bright spots were Izzy Shelton, who placed first in the shot put and second in the javelin. Rosie Harris did well in the jumping events, placing first in the pole vault and eighth in the high jump as well as earning a PR in the 400 meter race. Ellie Wood finished fourth in the 800 meters with a new season record and got a PR in the 200 meters as well. Lizzie Beutler placed second in her first outing of the season in the 3200 meters. And finally Jinettie Garbett placed second in the 100 meter sprint, and anchored the 4x100 and 4x200 relays.

The Grizzly boys were led by Trevor Mathews who posted a season record time in the 400 meters, placed third in the shot put and set a new school record in the javelin. Carter Kimball made a season high vault in the pole vault and Bryant Moss earned PR’s in both the javelin and shot put. Kaylum Balczewski also earned two PR’s in the javelin and the 100 meters. Lilly Gilbert was the lone Grace girl to compete. Gilbert placed fifth in the 3200 meters.
